Thanks to local photographer Steve Komerek for this fantastic sunset picture he took (12 years ago) of Ratcliffe on Soar power station from across the Trent at Colwick.
Visible from our area, this power station has become part of us and it truly is the end of an era, as it closes today.

More on the Punchbowl story. Thanks to research by Richard Johnson who sent us this section of a map showing what was there in 1899. There were four properties between Daisy Road and Kenrick Road. We think the two in the centre became the Punchbowl. This would suggest that Cavendish House was demolished at some stage.

Can anyone explain the history of The Punch Bowl on Porchester Road?
The original entrance gate clearly shows the name of the building as Carnarvon House. Other blogs suggest that at the location in 1910 was Morley Villas (listed as between Kenrick Road and Daisy Road).
Even accepting it started out as two premises, the history is not clear. One site suggests that pre-war it was home to the Chester family, then became the Deccan Club, before it was requisitioned as a US Army intelligence headquarters and officers mess.

Breck Hill Recreation Ground was created on one of the disused clay quarries in the area. It is a multi-use facility with a children's playground, sports field and an area for dog walking. It now has ample seating with views over Arnold to Mapperley Plains at Dorket Head. #mapperleyviews #mapperleyhistory #recreation #parklife

Calling Mapperley folk from the 1950/60s.
I've been going through some old photos with my Dad who used to live opposite where Aldi is now and found this photo. Can anyone help identify whereabouts in Mapperley this was?
